Post Your Mach 1 Pictures

Fantastic pics. As much as I love (and own) the Iconic Silver, I've come to realize that I like the Handling Pack cars in almost every color. Good work getting that ceramic on there so soon! Did you find that it changed the matte appearance of the magnetic trim at all?

Didn't notice any change. MAYBE a little glossier.

Fresh from PPF and it’s first track day. Completely different car on track compare to my modified PP GT. Match my PB on track in my first session.

I might be in the minority here with you, but given the fact that the factory hood stripe doesn't continue onto the roof or back to the trunk lid, I like these quite a bit destriped. The side panel ones aren't bad at all and still give the car a sense of being different, but damn does that look clean in white without the hood stripe.

Hoping it works out for me to get an M1 and I get the same results as you on track. I'm sure you'll get faster when you get used to the car more. Have you done anything to the car to make it better on track (brake pads, brake fluid...)? What are your alignment specs?

Missing hood stripe is OK with me as I'll likely be buying a second hood eventually and using Race Louvers. Assuming they test with a M1 at some point and confirm even better cooling and downforce. I think I'd keep the badges though. Got to have something to tell the world it's something special .

So I like gradual modifications so I can see the actual results on track. Now with that being said, Both my GT and Mach had horrible on power issues in low gear due to all the bad design in the rear suspension.

So its first track day did have Full steeda stop the hop ultimate kit(same as GT) in the rear, steeda springs, and extended length lower ball joints in the front(same setup as the GT).

Purposely left the Brakes completely stock. Brakes did not fade, but did run into an issue that the GT never had. From WOT to immediate braking on long stretches i would get a hard pedal. Presume lack of vacuum in booster, so I'll need to address that.

I have Hawk DTC 60/30 pads, SS Lines, and race fluid to go in the car, but id like to push the stock brakes to their limit first before I make that change.

Cant remember the toe, but car is aligned to -2 degrees camber all 4 corners, obviously with camber plate bolts removed up front.

Not sure what you mean by camber plate bolts removed? Are you using the handling pack adjustable strut mounts (camber plates)? Shouldn't that allow for more camber up front? With all the research I've done most say to max out the front camber.

I never felt confident in the PP2 brakes stock. I've run them a couple of times on track but much prefer the Raybestos ST45/43 setup I use and I've had Motul 600 fluid in since my first track day with it.

Yes, the Mach 1 has the ford adjustable camber plates. They maxed out at around 2.5degrees, but I set them to 2.0 to see how the car likes that. I can tell you I will be adding more, likely when I add the pads, fluid, and lines. I live in Canada, so our seaosn is coming to and end any day.

Yeah my season is over already. I was going to do another track weekend October 22/23 but hip issues say otherwise. Been dealing with it all year and swapping tires, brakes, loading/unloading trailer and stuff definitely weren't helping it. MRI Thursday. Hopefully it will be all good by the time next season starts. That or whenever I get the Mach 1 (likely well into next season based on current trends).

Went for a drive in the country today... It was Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend so the days are numbered for drives like this... I am hoping that I have until Halloween before the cold and crappy weather begins to be the norm rather than the exception!

Today was ceramic coating day and I lost the sun before having a chance to take good pics but… here’s maybe the first ever handling package car with base wheels:

That looks really good. Great job.

OK another unusually beautiful October morning in Western PA so here are a couple post-ceramic pics, including one of the magnetic spoiler...

Nice! Ford says mine is in Chester PA. It’s killing me!

This was a pleasant surprise - didn’t even know there was a photographer there at NOLA track day...

Gotta admit - that thang looks purty on the track.

I think red would probably have been my first choice if I would have ordered one. It looks outstanding in those photo's!
